Various personal data are collected when you use this website. Personal data are data that can identify you personally. This privacy policy explains which data we collect and what we use them for. It also explains how and for what purpose this happens.
Please note that transmitting data over the internet, for example when communicating by email, may involve security vulnerabilities. Complete protection against access by third parties is not possible.
The controller responsible for processing data on this website is:
Kuzikus African Safaris
Berend & Dr Friedrich jr. Reinhard
Privat Bag 13112
9000 Windhoek, Namibia
Telephone: 00264 81 4233 332
Email: info@kuzikus-namibia.com
The controller is the natural or legal person who, alone or jointly with others, determines the purposes and means of processing personal data, such as names, email addresses and similar information.
Many data processing operations are only possible with your express consent. You may withdraw consent already given at any time. An informal email to us is sufficient. Withdrawal does not affect the lawfulness of processing carried out before consent was withdrawn.
In the event of a breach of data protection law, the person concerned has the right to lodge a complaint with the competent supervisory authority. For data protection matters, the competent authority is the data protection commissioner of the German federal state in which our company is based. A list of data protection commissioners and their contact details is available at: https://www.bfdi.bund.de/DE/Infothek/Anschriften_Links/anschriften_links-node.html.
You have the right to receive data that we process automatically on the basis of your consent or in performance of a contract, either yourself or through a third party, in a commonly used, machine-readable format. If you request direct transfer to another controller, this will only be done where technically feasible.
This website uses SSL or TLS encryption for security reasons and to protect the transmission of confidential content, such as orders or enquiries you send to us as the website operator. You can recognise an encrypted connection when the browser address changes from “http://” to “https://” and a padlock symbol appears in the address bar.
When SSL or TLS encryption is activated, data you transmit to us cannot be read by third parties.
Under the applicable legal provisions, you have the right at any time to obtain information free of charge about your stored personal data, their origin and recipients, and the purpose of their processing, and, where applicable, the right to correction, blocking or deletion. You can contact us at any time at the address given in the legal notice about this or other questions concerning personal data.
We hereby object to the use of contact details published as part of the legally required notice to send advertising and information materials that have not been expressly requested. The website operators expressly reserve the right to take legal action in the event of unsolicited advertising, such as spam emails.
Some pages use cookies. Cookies do not damage your computer or contain viruses. They help make our services more user-friendly, effective and secure. Cookies are small text files placed on your computer and stored by your browser.
Most cookies we use are session cookies, which are deleted automatically at the end of your visit. Other cookies remain on your device until you delete them. They allow us to recognise your browser on your next visit.
You can configure your browser to inform you when cookies are set and allow them only in individual cases, reject cookies in particular cases or altogether, and delete cookies automatically when you close the browser. Disabling cookies may limit the functionality of this website.
Cookies required for electronic communications or for providing certain functions you request, such as a shopping basket, are stored on the basis of Article 6(1)(f) GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in storing cookies to provide technically reliable and optimised services. Other cookies, such as those used to analyse your browsing behaviour, are addressed separately in this privacy policy.
The hosting provider automatically collects and stores information in server log files, transmitted automatically by your browser. These include:
These data are not combined with other data sources.
The basis for processing is Article 6(1)(f) GDPR, which permits processing to perform a contract or take pre-contractual steps.
If you send us enquiries using a contact form, we store the information you provide, including your contact details, to process your enquiry and deal with any follow-up questions. We do not disclose these data without your consent.
Data entered in the contact form are therefore processed exclusively on the basis of your consent (Article 6(1)(a) GDPR). You can withdraw this consent at any time by sending us an informal email. Withdrawal does not affect the lawfulness of processing carried out before consent was withdrawn.
Data you enter in the contact form remain with us until you request deletion, withdraw consent to storage or the purpose of storage no longer applies, for example once your enquiry has been dealt with. Mandatory legal provisions, particularly retention periods, remain unaffected.
This website uses functions of the Google Analytics web analytics service. The provider is Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA.
Google Analytics uses cookies, which are text files stored on your computer that allow your use of the website to be analysed. The information generated by the cookie about your use of this website is generally transmitted to a Google server in the USA and stored there.
Google Analytics cookies are stored on the basis of Article 6(1)(f) GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in analysing user behaviour to optimise both its website and its advertising.
IP anonymisation
We have activated IP anonymisation on this website. Google therefore truncates your IP address within European Union member states or other countries party to the Agreement on the European Economic Area before transmitting it to the USA. Only in exceptional cases is the full IP address sent to a Google server in the USA and truncated there. On behalf of the website operator, Google uses this information to evaluate your use of the website, compile reports on website activity and provide other services relating to website and internet use. The IP address transmitted by your browser as part of Google Analytics is not combined with other Google data.
Browser plugin
You can prevent cookies from being stored by changing your browser settings. However, you may then be unable to use all the website’s functions fully. You can also prevent Google from collecting and processing cookie-generated data about your use of the website, including your IP address, by downloading and installing the browser plugin available at: https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=en.
Objection to data collection
You can prevent Google Analytics from collecting your data by clicking the following link. An opt-out cookie will be set to prevent collection on future visits to this website: Disable Google Analytics.
For more information about how Google Analytics handles user data, see Google’s privacy information: https://support.google.com/analytics/answer/6004245?hl=en.
Data processing agreement
We have concluded a data processing agreement with Google and fully implement the strict requirements of the German data protection authorities when using Google Analytics.
Demographic features in Google Analytics
This website uses the demographic features of Google Analytics. These allow reports to be generated about visitors’ ages, genders and interests. The data come from Google’s interest-based advertising and third-party visitor data. They cannot be attributed to any particular person. You can disable this feature at any time through the advertising settings in your Google account or prohibit collection by Google Analytics altogether as described under “Objection to data collection”.
Demographic data collection by Google Analytics
This website uses Google Analytics’ demographic features. This allows reports to be generated containing statements about the age, gender and interests of site visitors. These data come from interest-based advertising from Google and third-party visitor data. The collected data cannot be attributed to any specific individual. You can disable this feature at any time by adjusting the advertising settings in your Google account, or prevent data collection by Google Analytics as described in the section “Objection to data collection”.
Our websites use Google Analytics Remarketing together with the cross-device functions of Google AdWords and Google DoubleClick. The provider is Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA.
This function links the advertising audiences created with Google Analytics Remarketing to the cross-device functions of Google AdWords and Google DoubleClick. Interest-based, personalised advertising messages tailored to your previous usage and browsing behaviour on one device, such as a mobile phone, can then also be displayed on another of your devices, such as a tablet or computer.
If you have given the relevant consent, Google links your web and app browsing history to your Google account for this purpose. The same personalised advertising messages can then appear on every device on which you sign in to your Google account.
To support this function, Google Analytics collects Google-authenticated user IDs, which are temporarily linked to our Google Analytics data to define and create audiences for cross-device advertising.
You can permanently opt out of cross-device remarketing and targeting by disabling personalised advertising in your Google account at: https://www.google.com/settings/ads/onweb/.
The combination of collected data in your Google account is based exclusively on your consent, which you can give to or withdraw from Google (Article 6(1)(a) GDPR). Where data are collected without being combined in your Google account, for example because you have no account or have objected to the combination, collection is based on Article 6(1)(f) GDPR. The legitimate interest arises from the website operator’s interest in anonymised analysis of website visitors for advertising purposes.
Further information and privacy provisions are available in Google’s privacy information at: https://www.google.com/policies/technologies/ads/.
This website uses Google AdWords, an online advertising programme from Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, United States (“Google”).
We use conversion tracking as part of Google AdWords. When you click an advert placed by Google, a conversion tracking cookie is set. Cookies are small text files stored on the user’s computer by the browser. These cookies expire after 30 days and are not used to identify users personally. If a user visits certain pages of this website before the cookie expires, Google and we can recognise that they clicked the advert and were redirected to this page.
Each Google AdWords customer receives a different cookie. Cookies cannot be tracked across AdWords customers’ websites. The information collected through conversion cookies is used to compile conversion statistics for customers who have chosen conversion tracking. Customers learn the total number of users who clicked their advert and were redirected to a page with a conversion tracking tag. They receive no information allowing users to be identified personally. If you do not wish to participate, you can object by disabling the Google conversion tracking cookie in your browser’s user settings. You will then be excluded from conversion tracking statistics.
Conversion cookies are stored on the basis of Article 6(1)(f) GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in analysing user behaviour to optimise both its website and its advertising.
For more information on Google AdWords and Google conversion tracking, see Google’s privacy policy: https://www.google.de/policies/privacy/.
You can configure your browser to inform you when cookies are set and allow them only in individual cases, reject cookies in particular cases or altogether, and delete cookies automatically when you close the browser. Disabling cookies may limit the functionality of this website.
Our website uses a service from Matelso GmbH, Stuttgart. If you call a telephone number provided for us by Matelso, information about the call is transferred to a web analytics service we use, such as Google Analytics. Matelso also reads cookies set by our analytics service or other parameters of the website you visited, such as referrer, document path and remote user agent.
Matelso processes this information according to our instructions and stores it on servers in the EU. Further information is available at: https://www.matelso.com/privacy.
You can prevent cookies from being stored by changing your browser settings. Please note that this may prevent you from using all the functions of this website fully.
If you wish to receive the newsletter offered on this website, we need your email address and information allowing us to verify that you own that address and consent to receiving the newsletter. No further data are collected, or only on a voluntary basis. We use these data exclusively to send the requested information and do not disclose them to third parties.
Data entered in the newsletter registration form are processed exclusively on the basis of your consent (Article 6(1)(a) GDPR). You can withdraw consent to storing the data and email address and using them to send the newsletter at any time, for example through the unsubscribe link in the newsletter. Withdrawal does not affect the lawfulness of processing already carried out.
We store the data you provide for receiving the newsletter until you unsubscribe, and delete them after unsubscription. Data stored for other purposes, such as email addresses for a members’ area, remain unaffected.
This website uses MailChimp to send newsletters. The provider is The Rocket Science Group LLC, 675 Ponce De Leon Ave NE, Suite 5000, Atlanta, GA 30308, USA.
MailChimp is a service used, among other things, to organise and analyse newsletter distribution. If you enter data to receive the newsletter, such as an email address, they are stored on MailChimp’s servers in the USA.
MailChimp is certified under the EU–US Privacy Shield. The Privacy Shield is an agreement between the European Union and the USA intended to ensure compliance with European data protection standards in the USA.
MailChimp allows us to analyse our newsletter campaigns. When you open an email sent through MailChimp, a file contained in it, known as a web beacon, connects to MailChimp’s servers in the USA. This makes it possible to determine whether a newsletter was opened and which links were clicked. Technical information is also collected, such as the time of access, IP address, browser type and operating system. This information cannot be attributed to an individual recipient and is used exclusively for statistical analysis of newsletter campaigns. The results can help us adapt future newsletters to recipients’ interests.
If you do not want MailChimp to analyse your newsletter use, you must unsubscribe. Each newsletter contains a link for this purpose. You can also unsubscribe directly on the website.
Data are processed on the basis of your consent (Article 6(1)(a) GDPR). You can withdraw it at any time by unsubscribing from the newsletter. Withdrawal does not affect the lawfulness of processing already carried out.
Data you provide for receiving the newsletter are stored until you unsubscribe and are then deleted from both our servers and MailChimp’s servers. Data stored for other purposes, such as email addresses for a members’ area, remain unaffected.
For details, see MailChimp’s privacy provisions at: https://mailchimp.com/legal/terms/.
Our website uses plugins from YouTube, a website operated by Google. The operator is YouTube LLC, 901 Cherry Ave., San Bruno, CA 94066, USA.
When you visit a page with a YouTube plugin, a connection is established to YouTube’s servers. The YouTube server is informed which of our pages you visited.
If you are signed in to your YouTube account, YouTube can link your browsing behaviour directly to your personal profile. You can prevent this by signing out of your YouTube account.
YouTube is used in the interest of presenting our online services attractively. This constitutes a legitimate interest under Article 6(1)(f) GDPR.
For more information about the handling of user data, see YouTube’s privacy policy at: https://www.google.de/intl/en/policies/privacy.
This website uses web fonts provided by Google to display fonts consistently. When you open a page, your browser loads the required web fonts into its cache to display text and fonts correctly.
For this purpose, your browser must connect to Google’s servers. Google thereby learns that your IP address has accessed our website. Google Web Fonts are used in the interest of a consistent and attractive presentation of our online services. This constitutes a legitimate interest under Article 6(1)(f) GDPR.
If your browser does not support web fonts, a standard font from your computer is used.
Further information about Google Web Fonts is available at https://developers.google.com/fonts/faq and in Google’s privacy policy: https://www.google.com/policies/privacy/.
This website uses Google Maps through an API. The provider is Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA.
Using Google Maps requires your IP address to be stored. This information is generally transmitted to a Google server in the USA and stored there. The website provider has no influence over this transfer.
Google Maps is used in the interest of presenting our online services attractively and making the locations mentioned on our website easy to find. This constitutes a legitimate interest under Article 6(1)(f) GDPR.
